Loving Her (Book 2/2)(RE-WRITING)

Chapter 18 Andy

I was finally happy that Danni and I could finally start our relationship. It's been hard for me. I knew that killing so many people would have an effect on me. I haven't really slept since being in the hospital. Every time I close my eyes, I see their bloodied bodies on the ground. These people could've been fathers or brothers or sons and I killed them. I killed my own father. Patricia hasn't talked to me yet. She told Danni that she needed time to process what had happened. She didn't know that he was part of the organisation. I didn't get charged for the killings because they deemed it self defence. Danni has been slightly off too. I couldn't blame her. She hasn't told me what happened down there but I hope she does. I really want to grow with her. I was let out of the hospital today and so I going to take Danni to dinner.

"Where are you going to take her?" Yvette asked, helping me get out of the car.

"I don't know, I want it to be special because I want to ask her to be my girlfriend,"

"Naw, since when did  big old Andy have a heart?" She joked, handing me my crutches.

"Shut up,"

"Well is she a restaurant type of girl or is she a movie girl?"

"I don't know, I don't really want to take her out in public. I just want to spend the night with her and only her,"

"Why don't you cook for her?"

"I mean, I'm not the best cook,"

"Agreed, but I'm sure you could whip something up for your future girlfriend,"

"Maybe," I sighed, making my way inside.

"How long do you have the cast on?"

"Six weeks,"

"Ugh dad's going to kill me,"

"Sorry," I laughed nervously.

"It's alright, just get yourself better okay?"

"I'll try,"

"I've actually got a date with Narla so you'll be right?" She asked, slipping on a jacket.

"Yeah, go have fun with your lover,"

"I plan on it,"

"Wait!" I called. She turned from the door.

"Did she say she loved you back?" A smile formed on her lips.

"Yes,"

"Told ya," she flipped me off before heading out. I didn't know what I was going to do for Danni. I wanted to do something special. I picked up my phone and called her.

"Hey,"

"Hey Danni, remember your having dinner with me tonight,"

"I wouldn't forget it,"

"It'll be at mine okay? I was going to take you out but I just want to spend some time with you,"

"That's okay, I'd prefer to just be with you too,"

"Come around six,"

"Okay,"

"Talk soon love,"

"Bye Andy," I smiled when I hung up the phone. What on earth was I going to do?

I slipped into black khaki shorts and a white button up shirt. With this stupid cast on I couldn't wear jeans. I brushed and combed my hair to make it look natural. I used my crutches to get around and it was so hard. It was hard to go up and down the stairs. I really should've considered that. I got into the kitchen and switched the lights off. The room was illuminated by candle light. I smiled to myself and made my way towards the stove. I had three different types of home made pasta cooking and some stir fry to go with it. The meal was nearly ready. I was so nervous. My palms were sweaty and I'm sure everything else was too. I checked over everything one last time. Plates, glasses, water, napkins, candles, music and utensils. I heard the door and began to panic. What happens if this wasn't enough? What happens if I've done too much. I took a deep breath before going towards the door. My heart was racing more than it usually did around her. I opened the door and my jaw dropped. She was wearing a white lace dress which was tight around her chest but hung loosely around her waist and legs. She had black flats on, her hair was braided back with hair circling around her face. She had light makeup on. She was absolutely gorgeous.
